Tracking with CCB
Featured on BIMMERPOST.com Does anyone know if it’s just a rotor and pad replacement to go from ccb <-> steel? I heavily tracked my gt3 and the steel and pccb rotor and pad size were identical so I just swapped my rotor and pad and kept the pccb on the shelf as expensive paper weight for years. The caliper was just a different paint color with no other difference between the steel and ceramic caliper. Thx!! |

I assume the CCB would wear the same and have the same high operating cost. Also, most WEC/IMSA teams actually don’t run ceramics on their GT cars. (Not sure if this is a rule thing or if its managing a some ludicrous high budget) |

Yes, they work well, but the operating costs are insane. |

I went with steel brakes because I plan to eventually track the CS when my 1M is ready to retire (I believe it is still in its adolescence). I also got DCT so my left foot can retire with the 1M.
I would still be curious about the answer to the OP's question . . . does a rotor and pad swap (EASY) work, or would the calipers (MESSY PAIN IN THE ASS) need to be changed also? Anyone know?

I haven't done CCB's (yet). Still in final selection of the car I'm getting and was just wondering what the story was with CCB <-> Steel fitment. If they are truly swappable from a pads/rotor perspective, then the CCBs can make sense for me long term (when the car retires from the track etc). But if fitment isn't the same and calipers needs to be swapped, then I will for sure go the steel route.

Great find and very helpful. I plan to switch put the fluid and run them in the track. Why not. You bought them, and running 3-4 track days a year on them probably shortens the life from 80k miles to 50k .. so far I haven’t kept one long enough to find out. If you do reach 50k miles you hopefully have saved enough to replace them.
